The question we must ask ourselves today is: Can a man and woman be just friends? Some say yes, others say otherwise. In the case of Bambie and Binky it's the latter. 17-year-old Aphrodite Samuels A. K. A Bambie wasn't looking for anything but an education when she enrolled at the University of Georgia. Her mission was to get in and get out, simple. That is until she met 18-year-old Messiah Lafayette A. K. A Binky. Messiah was everything Aphrodite could possibly want in a man. He was tall, strong, smart, handsome, kind and most importantly he was one of her best friends. However, along with that friendship came feelings, feelings that manifested into love. A love that neither of them was used to. A love that they chose to deny and as we all know the heart wants what it wants. Estranged for four years, now 25-year-old Aphrodite and 26-year-old Messiah are face to face again, but unlike before the stakes are higher. He is engaged and she is the brides to be best friends. Neither of them feels like there's anything left of the past but only time will tell. So, the question still stands: can a man and woman be just friends?
